Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at sourcing website design and build services. The process, classified under the software packages and information systems category, involves both WordPress and Umbraco Content Management Systems (CMS). The procurement has reached the award stage with the contract beginning on 26th January 2026 and ending on 7th April 2026. The contract is valued at £107,250 and is designated for delivery within England. Interested organisations participated through an open procedure, with the tender initially closing on 9th October 2023.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth to businesses in the web design and development industry, particularly those with expertise in WordPress and Umbraco CMS platforms. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, owing to the council's emphasis on inclusivity within the procurement process. The DPS framework ensures that successful bidders not only secure an ongoing relationship with a local government entity but also access potential one-off projects with continued support and maintenance, providing stable business opportunities over a longer term.
